INTERESTING QUESTION.

AsHEvnLR, N. c., March 21.-The
contempt case in the Superior Court
against W. II. Beaver and A. G. Patter-
son, charged with resisting the writ of
ha6eas corpus, was terminated this
morning. There was no jury in the
case, as it is a question for the judges
consideration alone. His Honor has re.
served the decision until Thursday.
Immense crowds have been in attend
ance during the trial, which began on
Saturday, and much public interest has
been manifested. Over thirty wit
nesses were examined, and able and
distinguished counsel appeared on each
side.
information has just reached this
city in regard to killing some days
ago at Spruce Pine, in Mitchell county,
one of the remote interior sections of
the western part OF the State. A re-
spectacle and prominent planter, Tay-
lor Phillips, was asked by a desperate
negro, Joe Holmesby, to let him
(Holmesby) have q mule to ride to a
house few miles away. Mr.. Phillips's
mules had worked and were tired.
Holmesby took one out OF the stable.
As soon as Mr.. Phillips saw this he
urged him to put the mule back. The
negro swore he would ride that mule
or kill Phillips. Phillips stepped ill.,
side and got his pistol, and as he re-
turned to the doorway cautiously he
saw the negro with stone raised to
hurl at him. He fired and the negro
fell with bullet in his heart. A coro-
ner's inquest was held and a verdict OF
self-defence was returned.

His record was made in the first heat of

Fourteen horses started in the race, which

TROTTERS FROM DAMS BY HAM,
BlETONlAN WITH RECORDS OF
2:3O OR BETTER.

Mr.. John II. Wallace in some of his
last tables of trotting statistics pretends to
give list of the above trotters, and al
though he has posed as authority in such
matters and occupies an official position
as editor of the American Trotting Reg
lister, he does not, as we have repeatedly
shown before, consider it of any import
ance to define between things known and
unknown. He gives under the above
head list of 81 dams with 43 performers,
and makes not the slightest distinction in
these between those whose dams are
known and those who are not, or are said
to be by HamDletonian. The result is, a
result that must follow, that the tables
are not only worthless, but misleading.
That they should be misleading it is pre-
sumable is what Mr.. Wallace wishes.
That they are worthless he doesn't seem
to have gumption enough to know, but
his readers have. We furnish below ac-
curate and therefore valuable tables of
these trotters. The following trotters
are from dams by Hambletonian, with
record and number of races given to the
close of lsS6:

isn't tenth part of what we intend il shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree of
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in for this department; and we eN-
peet to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: ola Pilot, St Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, z. ). OF Green's
Bashaw; Leondas, reputed g. ;. OF Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
This is pre.eminently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. It is the American gentle
mans paper Tor the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac
ing OF some of these pedi9rees seems very
similar to II romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
of the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

LIVE OAK HENRY,

Editor Dunton's Spirit Of the Tart
viii you please ask the readers of your
paper to give you if possible the breeding
of II horse known here as Live Oak Hen
ry. Bought in Pike county, H., in
about the year 1866 or 81 by 5. 5.
Wilson, and brought to South Mound,
Kan, about the year 1870 or Il. He was a
large, fine looking horse, with good trot-
ting action. Was sore on fore-feet on
account of hard track work. He has
some extra good stock here. Also, please
ask your readers to give the name and
address of the party that owns horse
known here as Dick Turpin. He was
brought here TO Parsons in the year of
1867 or 6S from Illinois by Mr.. Barnett,
at two years old We stood him as foal
getter until 1876 or 76, and then he was
taken to New York as report has it, and
we have lost sight of him. He left some
good colts here which are producing
good colts and would be thankful, in
deed, TO have the above answered through
your paper. Yours respectfully,

Total races won in this spurious list of
Wallace, 1902; lost, 22S; aggregate, 800.
In this list there are two great perform
ers or trotters of fifty races or more,
Bateman and David l.. traces trotted by
David l.. this year make his races far
above fifty. OF the first list, the aver
age of races won is trifle above five !;
total races about fourteen. OF the Sec
ond, the average of the races won is 81
and of races trOtted, 274 or nearly double.
The inference is that the dams of the last
list were not by Hambletonian, but as
they are unknown there is very slight
chance that some of them may have been.
We would add that of the last list, David
l.. is very conspicuous performer upon

recognize any that have been conspicu-
GUS this year, although several have trot-
ted.

The above are reasonably well anthem
ticated, as the breeders of the dams are
known. This is very splendid showing
and will undoubtedly by the future be
very much increased, but in Judging of it
we should remember that dams from
Hambletonian have been very extensive
ly bred, in part at least, to the most not
ed sires of trotters and their colts to
great extent developed. There is not in
the above number of trotters a single
great performer; not one that has trot-
ted 80 or more recorded races. There are
number of very creditabe trotters and
one (Trinket) great one The aggregate
of the races won by them is 100, lost 27l,
total, 49,.
The following trotters with unknown
dams are included in Mr.. Wallace's ia
